Aria Kazansky rode her motorcycle at top speed down the highway, she laughed happily when she suddenly heard a siren. Looking back she groaned at the lights that flashed in pursuit of her, she pulled over and sighed... Jet was going to have her hide.

The next morning Aria was led from her cell to where her older brother stood in his military uniform with a scowl on his face. Typically a go lucky somebody, only Aria could make her brother this angry, she approached him with a grin

"Hey Jet!"

Garrison "Jet" Kazansky glared at his little sister before he reached over and slapped her upside the head. "What were you thinking!"

As he practically dragged her out of the jail he continued to berate her "I cant be here every time you get arrested!"

Aria rolled her eyes "Well you calm down? It's not that big a deal."

Jet turned on his heel and came face to face with his sister "Yes it is! Look, Dad might have thought this behavior was cute when you were younger because it reminded him of mom but its not cute anymore! When are you going to realize that there's more to life than speed?"

Aria frowned "What do you want Jet? Do you want me to act like Kailani? The oh-so-perfect twin?"

Jet sighed and shook his head "No, I want to be you, but I want to y u to have a care for your safety.. At this rate, you're going to get killed."

"Better to die fast doing what you love them slowly in and office." Aria froze the second she said it knowing she had gone too far as her brother stiffened and turned away "I think you can find your own way home."

"Garrison! Wait!" Aria called after her brother but he ignored her, just as she was going to run after him a voice called "Lieutenant Kazansky!"

Aria froze and turned to find an ensign standing there he nodded politely before he informed her "Captain Daniels wants to see you."

Aria groaned "Now?"

The ensign nodded "Now."

_________________________________________________



Aria entered Captain Daniels's office and grinned slightly when she saw her Wingman already there. She turned to the Captain and saluted,

"At ease." He motioned them down "have a seat."

Captain Daniels was a muscular man of Samoan descent. Anytime he got annoyed he would raise his eyebrow in a way that made Aria want to bust out laughing.

"Lieutenant Kazansky, glad you could join us after your little stint in prison."

Aria grinned "I would have broken out if it meant being able to spend time with you, sir."

Aria restrained a grunt of pain as her wingman stomped her foot. Captain Daniels glared at Aria in annoyance "You know Kazansky if you weren't one of the best pilots I've ever met you would be out of here on your tail!" He sighed "But as is, the Navy seems to think that both of you are important... You've both been called back."

Aria frowned in confusion as her commanding officer paused before saying "to Top gun."

Her wingman tilted his head "Why sir? We have both won Top Gun."

Captain Daniels shrugged "I haven't been made privy to that information, all I can say is this.. They are calling back the best pilots to come out of that school in the last decade... Whatever's about to go down, it will be dangerous." He looked his two pilots over with a small gleam of fondness in his eyes "Good luck. And don't die."

As Aria and her wingman left the room the male pillt looked to his friend"Well DarkStar, what do you think?

Darkstar grinned "Did you hear what he said? The best pilots to graduate... Me and Kai are finally going to see who the better pilot is!"

The blonde-headed pilot groaned and ran after his friend "That's what you got out of this? We could be going to war and you're wondering if you and your sister are going to get to fly against each other?"

Darkstar nodded "Basically, yeah."

Jake shook his head with a grin "Unbelievable."

Pete "Maverick" Mitchell stared at the screen before him that held pictures of not one but three of his godchildren, one of which he was on very bad terms with.

"Is there a problem, Captain?" Admiral Simpkin asked and Maverick gave him a look of disbelief "You know there is sir."

The admiral nodded before clicking a button "Bradley Bradshaw." He said as a picture of the young pilot came up "Nicknamed "Rooster". You flew with his father before. What was his nickname?"

"Goose" Admiral Bates informed hum and Simpkin nodded "What happened was tragic."

Maverick looked away memories of that time resurfacing before he finally said "With all due respect, I'm not a teacher, sir."

"You were a Top Gun instructor before."

"That was 30 years ago and it lasted two months. That's not my place."

Simpkin frowned tired of the back talk "Let me be as clear as possible. You were not my first choice. You were not even on the list.. You are here at the request of Admirals Kazansky and Ross. Now Ice and Fire are people I respect greatly, shoot Fire was my topgun teacher. And they think you have something left to give the Navy, but I don't see it."

Simpkin surveyed the man before him " You don't have to accept this job. But let me be perfectly clear. This will be your last mission, Captain. You either fly for Top Gun, or you're never fly again for the Navy."

Admiral Gemma Ross-Kazansky looked up as her husband made a sound she knew well, it was the sound he made whenever Maverick did something stupid.

"What did he do this time?" She asked and Tom sighed before he typed in his computer sending it to her own laptop across the way from him. She looked at the note

"He started arguing when he saw Roosters picture... Cyclone threatened him."

Gemma groaned in annoyance, she should have known this would happen, then she frowned and looked to her husband "How come I wasn't informed?"

Iceman smirked before sending another message "Probably because you terrify Simpkin."

Firebird laughed "Well, he shouldn't mess with my flyboys."

She stood approaching her husband and kneeling before him. She looked up into his eyes, the disease had ravaged his body, bending and almost breaking the body of the man. But his eyes, the ice blue eyes that Gemma had fallen in love with so many years before remained the same. Glimmering with love, mischief, and a spirit that could never be broken.

"I love you, Iceman."

He smiled looking down into her eyes and he quietly muttered "I love you, Firebird."

Bradley "Rooster Bradshaw entered the Hard Deck with a swagger his eyes drifted over his godfather and he sneered slightly before approaching his fellow pilots. As his best friend greeted him and arrogant voice interrupted

"Bradshaw? As I live and breath." Hangman smirked at his rival who rolled his eyes before trying to be civil "Hangman, you look good."

Ever cocky Hangman replied "Oh, I am Rooster, I am very good. In fact, I'm too good to be true."

Rooster rolled his eyes barely restraining himself from punching the cocky pilot when said man looked beyond him and grinned "Well, well, if that ain't a heavenly vision."

Rooster followed the pilot's gaze and froze, two females were approaching them in pilot uniforms. One was blonde the other dark-headed, and it was the dark-haired one that made Rooster freeze.

Rooster had never believed in love at first sight, though his mother talked about it often enough. But at that moment, he realized it was true because his world tilted on its axis and he felt like he was flying at speeds he had never imagined.

"Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen." Hangman moved forward and Phoenix snorted "He is going to crash and burn."

Everyone nodded in agreement and watched with smirks as he approached the blonde obviously giving some stupid pickup lines. Everyone then about fainted as the blonde female grinned and leaned up kissing Hangman. The dark-haired female rolled her eyes in disgust but as Hangman pulled away the two clasped hands and hugged in a brotherly fashion.

Hangman wrapped his arms around the two females' shoulders and turned to walk back to the other pilots.

"I'm sorry, what universe have I wound up on that Hangman doesn't get slapped?"

Rooster shrugged disbelief clear on his face as the three pilots approached, Hangman gave a cocky grin and glanced down at the blonde in a way that was almost loving.

"Guys, meet Kailani, my wife."

Jaws dropped all around and the dark-haired girl smirked and walked towards the window where she took a seat on the sill to watch the proceedings.

"Wife?"Rooster muttered

"You're kidding me" Phoenix stared at Hangman in disbelief before turning to the female "blink twice if this is a hostage situation?"

Kailani raised a perfectly manicured eyebrow in an amused manner "As if he could kidnap me."

The dark-haired girl snorted "Hang would trip over his own feet if he tried to kidnap Kai, he's too awestruck."

Hangman turned a shade of red that Rooster was pretty sure wasn't on the color scale as he glared at the dark-haired woman. "Watch it DarkStar."

The female laughed "What are you going to do Hangman? Not come to Thanksgiving dinner?"

"Whoa, whoa!" Phoenix interrupted looking to the woman who sat in the window "DarkStar? As in Dark Star Kazansky?"

The woman who Rooster now knew as DarkStar smirked "The one and only."

Kailani laughed "Don't let it go to your head sis.

Hangman rolled his eyes and strolled forward-leaning beside DarkStar "Ladies and gentlemen, meet my sister-in-law, Aria Kazansky."

Rooster stepped forward and smiled at Aria "Hey, I"m Bradley Bradshaw."

Aria raised an eyebrow "Hey."

Kailanis voice spoke up "Bradshaw? As in Goose?"

Rooster turned and nodded slowly, Kailani looked stuck a hand out "My mom and yours were good friends, she considered your dad a brother... Its a pleasure."

Rooster smiled slightly and Phoenix spoke up "Do any of you know the subject of this special gathering?"

She glanced towards the Admiral's kids who shook their heads but Hangman might have settled down with a woman but his cockiness hadn't died "Duty is duty. It's not a problem for men What I want to know... is who will be the team leader. And which of you has what it takes to follow me?"

"Hangman, the only place to go after you is an early grave." Rooster snarled making DarkStar laugh, Rooster couldn't help the feeling of pride he felt that he made the dark queen laugh.

Hangman smirked at Rooster " Well the one who follows you....runs out of fuel... Do you remember last year, Rooster? He wanted so much to show himself in that test. You were waiting for the right moment. The one that never came."

DarkStar stood "That's enough Hangman..." She turned to her sister "Where's Rock Steady?"

Ice Queen turned to the door and grinned "There he is."

The others followed her gaze as a handsome pilot entered the room, heading in their direction, he grinned at all of them and smiled when he saw Bob "Bob! You old dog, what are you doing here?"

Bob stood with a grin shaking hands with the other weapons specialist "Hey Rock Steady!"

Phoenix and the other pilots were still watching the door where more to pilots were entering the room.

"What kind of task is this?"

"That's not the question we should be asking."Phoenix ansewred "Everyone here is one of the best. Who will they hire to teach us?"

DarkStars eyes strayed to the bar counter where her godfather sat flirting with the bartender, she knew exactly who would be teaching them.

Suddenly the bell rang signaling to throw someone out, DarkStar and Ice Queen watched as Hangman and some of the others moved forward towards Maverick.

"You think we should tell them?" DarkStar asked but Ice Queen shook her head "Let them figure it out."

DarkStars eyes roamed over to Rooster who had walked towards the jukebox, he was nice to look at, she would admit that much.

Ice Queen caught her twin staring at Rooster and raised an eyebrow because that was the exact same way she looked at Hangman.

Rooster leaned over and unplugged the jukebox as the crowd booed in annoyance until he sat down at the piano and began to play.

DarkStars eyes lit up slightly as the Pilots began to sing Great Balls of Fire, he was cute...

The crowd rocked to his performance singing with him, Hangman grabbed Ice Queen and Dark Star dragging them forward. After Rooster was done Hangman pushed his wife and sister-in-law forward "Come on you two!"

Rooster looked to them and raised an eyebrow "Whats your pleasure?"

DarkStar shook her head "Nothing we are not singing."

Ice Queen laughed "Waterloo!"

Aria turned to her sister in disbelief "No!"

Rooster grinned and began to play and Ice Queen grabbed her sister and began to sing

"My, my, at Waterloo Napoleon did surrender"

Aria groaned and joined her sister "Oh yeah, and I have met my destiny in quite a similar way

The history book on the shelf Is always repeating itself"

The sisters were lifted onto the bar top and they grinned at each other as the crowd joined them loudly singing

"Waterloo, I was defeated, you won the war Waterloo, promise to love you for ever more Waterloo, couldn't escape if I wanted to Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you Waterloo, finally facing my Waterloo My, my, I tried to hold you back but you were stronger Oh yeah, and now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight And how could I ever refuse I feel like I win when I lose Waterloo, I was defeated, you won the war Waterloo, promise to love you forever more Waterloo, couldn't escape if I wanted to Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you Waterloo, finally facing my Waterloo So how could I ever refuse I feel like I win when I lose Waterloo, couldn't escape if I wanted to Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you Waterloo, finally facing my Waterloo Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you Waterloo, finally facing my Waterloo Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you."

Rooster looked back and watched Aria Kazansky as she was lifted from the bar and hoisted onto the shoulders of the guy they had called Rock Steady. She was smiling at everyone, and Rooster vowed then and there, that he was going to marry that girl one day.

The next morning they all sat in the Topgun building in their seats as Admiral Bates addressed the "You're all Top Gun graduates. You are elite pilots. You are the best of the best." His eyes scanned over them before he brought up pictures on the screen "These are yesterday. The enemy's new 5th generation fighter jet has leveled the playing field. Details are few, but its technological advantage you can rest assured that we don't have. Success is now more than ever...attached to a woman or a man inside a box."

"Of the pilots, half of you will pass the elimination. One of you will be designated as the mission leader"

Hangman smirked and beside him, DarkStar elbowed him harshly making him groan in pain. In the aisle across from them where Ice Queen sat with Rock Steady her ROI she looked over and rolled her eyes at the two.

"The remaining half will remain as reinforcements. Your instructor is also a Top Gun graduate. He has real-world experience in every mission you are expected to master. The achievements are legendary. He is widely regarded as one of the best pilots this program has produced."

DarkStar heard Rooster mutter something from his seat in front of her, and she bit her lip knowing the history probably wasn't good between the two.

"What he teaches you can make the difference between your death and your life. Introducing Captain Pete Mitchell."

The classroom looked back and many groaned covering their faces, Hangman leaned over to his Wingmen muttering "You couldn't warn me?"

DarkStar just smirked "Your wife said not to."

Hangman leaned forward glaring at his wife playfully across the way. As Maverick got to the front he looked across the room and the men who had helped toss him out last night smiled sheepishly.

Maverick held up a book "FAT guides it contains everything they want you to know about the program. I assume you know the contents of this book."

A rousing cheer of yes was his answer and he nodded, both Kazansky twins patiently waited for the punch line of the joke their mother gave to every class she taught. And their answer came as Maverick tossed the book in the trashcan

"Your enemy knows too"

Both twins grinned leaning forward eagerly as Maverick continued

"But what the enemy doesn't know is your limits. I intend to find them. I want to test and force... We'll start with your jets.Show me what you can do."

With that they all stood most pilkts running from the room, Rooster glared at Maverick as he stood to leave but almsot froze as both Kailani and Aria moved towards Maverick saluting him before wrapping him in a hug.

Rooster shook his head wishing he could drag Maverick away from Aria, then he turned and walked away.

DarkStar checked over her jet and looked up as Rooster came walking quickly across the tarmac. Behind him her uncle Mav followed calling his name, she watched sadly before look in away... Rooster wouldn't make it unless he let his father's death go, Hangman had told her that the pilot was overly cautious thinking far too much.

Thinking could be a pilot's death sentence unless you were like her father and sister, who thought but had no fear. Aria preferred not to think, it only got in her way, that was why she and Hangman worked so well together in the air... They were both loners, well until he met her sister the Ice Queen, and decided it was a good idea to run away with her in Vegas... No one was sure what had happened that night, all they knew was the two pilots had returned married....

_________________________________________________



"DarkStar! Ice Queen!" Both women turned to Maverick who grinned "You two take turns, your going up with me."

Both sisters nodded and grinned, this could be entertaining.

DarkStar was up first she took off into the air pulling her mother's trick of going high. She grinned as her uncle spoke

"Good morning, Airmen. This is your captain speaking. Welcome to basic flight maneuvers. As reported, our exercise today is dogfighting. Guns only. No missiles. We will not go below the hard deck of 5,000 feet. You have to work as a team and shoot me and DarkStar or else..."

"Or what, sir?" Payback asked

"Or we will shoot you. If either I or DarkStar shoots one of you, you both lose."

On the ground, Hangman shook his head mumbling "This guy needs an ego check."

"We'll handle it!" The other pilots high-fived each other and Ice Queen laughed shaking her head "You guys have no idea who you're playing with." Everyone looked at her and she smirked "We are talking about the only pilot that both of my parents consider to be on the same level as they are."

Hangman swallowed thickly, he knew the skills of his inlaws either by word or personal experience... His mother-in-law had taken it on herself to scare the bejeezus out of him right after he and Kai had gotten married.

Above Payback called "Let's make the game a little better, shall we?"

"What's on your mind?" Maverick asked

"Whoever gets hit first should do 200 push-ups."

"That's a lot of push-ups."

"They don't call it exercise for nothing, sir." Fanboy called

"Agreed then, gentlemen. The fight has begun. Let's go to work."

"You boys are going to regret that bet." DarkStar said quietly just loud enough for them to hear through the comm, with that the game was on.

DarkStar waited patiently until she heard screaming from the other pilots and she dropped down from her place in the clouds. She twisted getting on Maverick's wing to help him out, and the two looked over at each other and gave a thumbs up.

DarkStar punched it together she and Maverick got on Paybacks tail as Payback screamed "Rooster where are you?!"

"I'm coming!"

Rooster flew in between the two pilots and his wingman, Darkstar broke away from Maverick and Rooster moved to get behind her, with a smirk Darkstar shot straight up and back putting on the breaks and cutting her engines. Maverick smirked, her mother had taught her well!

Now Rooster was in trouble, and also slightly in awe, but instead of Darkstar calling out his fate it was Maverick who called "Rooster saved your life boys, now he's in trouble."

'Not today old man!" Rooster yelled, and spun trying to get both Darkstar and Maverick off his tail, he was so focused on escaping that he wasn't thinking for once, letting himself go below the hard deck!

It took DarkStar's voice yelling "Rooster pull up!" for him to realize what he was doing, he quickly pulled up leading him right into Maverick's sights "That's a kill."

As the day went on DarkStar and Ice Queen traded out on helping Maverick and flying against him and their own sister, both sisters were competitive, but neither could outmaneuver the other. Maverick was amazed at how much like their parents they flew, Ice Queen flew like Iceman, tiring her opponents out. DarkStar flew like Firebird, attacking quickly and getting out faster. As the day ended the two sisters and Rock Steady groaned while doing pushups side by side, they looked over and grinned at each other, all trying to get done first.

________________________________________________



That night Aria entered the Hard Deck her eyes searching for a certain pilot, when her eyes found him she approached "This seat taken?"

He looked up from his beer surprise registering in his eyes "No."

Aria nodded and sat across from the male pilot, she lounged in her chair observing him "So, you don't seem to like my uncle."

Rooster's head shot up "Your uncle?" he asked incredulously "That A-hole?"

Aria chuckled "That's what my uncle Turtle calls him too." She looked up and smiled "but yeah, he's my uncle, my godfather actually.. He was the first person to try and teach me to fly, I was like ten at the time and my parents almost forbade him from taking me flying again."

Rooster watched her silently "Is there a point to you telling me this?"

Aris shrugged "I figured you needed someone to talk to about what he did."

Rooster frowned "How do you?'

"He tells my mom everything, they're like siblings, wingmen, or some other bull." Aria stared out the window to where the ocean roared "When you got a wingman that person tends to be really important to you."

"Is that what you and Hangman are?" He asked causing Aria to nod "He's been my wingman like two years, when he met my sister it was like a fairy tale."

Rooster snorted "Yeah, no offense but Hangman and fairytale are not two words that go together."

Darkstar smirked looking Rooster over "You know who you and Hangman remind me of?"

Rooster shook his head and Aria continued "You act like the stories my mom tells of my dad and Maverick when they were young."

Rooster scowled "Don't compare me to Maverick."

Aria laughed "I wasn't."

Bradley looked up at Aria curiosity in his eyes, and Aria looked back with a challenge of her own. For the next few hours the two sat and talked before going for a walk on the beach, and though they didn't know it was like history was repeating itself. The hotshot female pilot and the calm male pilot, were slowly growing closer just as two others had in the past, but through history repeats its the small details that change.

"The history book on the shelf, is always repeating itself"
